If the 9mm +P is a stunt, and the .357 somehow makes minimum, then I do not see how the .40 somehow doesn't. No one doubts the 10mm for deer, yet many of its factory loads are at .40 S&W levels.

We are REALLY splitting hairs here.

Killed one with a Nine once (Hi-Power) but that was once and not really on purpose. Hunted with my issued Glock 19 once, but I was only looking for a doe, and it was all I had with me at the time. Both times involved 124gr +P ammo. These are related anecdotes, not an endorsement of the 9mm for deer hunting.
